We discuss an atomistic model for heterogeneous nanowires, allowing for dislocations at the interface. We study the limit as the atomic distance converges to zero, considering simultaneously a dimension reduction and the passage from discrete to continuum. Employing the notion of Gamma-convergence, we establish the minimal energies associated to defect-free configurations and configurations with dislocations at the interface, respectively. It turns out that dislocations are favoured if the thickness of the wire is sufficiently large.
